After our recent tour of the UK, we mutually decided that we cannot continue in this way. Therefore, in an amicable fashion, Gordon has left Achren to fulfil his other duties.

What does this mean for Achren? Well, for a start, certainty. Quzzy has agreed to continue to play drums for Achren both live and in the studio for the time being, meaning that we can now move forward with the new EP and album that we have planned as well as stepping up our live schedule in support of these. Because of Quzzy’s dedication to his own bands Co-Exist and Bacchus Baracus, he will not be joining Achren on a permanent basis; however, this will allow us to perform live and in the studio until a permanent replacement can be found.

We will still be performing at any and all dates that we have currently booked – indeed, we will soon be entering the recording studio and will be booking additional shows when the release dates are confirmed. As Quzzy has been our de facto drummer for the majority of our 2012 Autumn tour, there will be no concerns about changes in the quality of the performances.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Gordon for the many years and hard work that he has contributed to Achren. It’s sad to see him go and we wish him all the best.

Indoor venue, camping, cabin accommodation, BYOB campsite, reasonable bar prices and all other good things.

“It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform you that Forces Of Metal 2012 will not take place.

We’ve tried; tried hard, but to no avail.

Certain events, starting in December 2011, have caused a downward spiral from which we could not recover.

We’ve considered alternatives. None of which seemed to do any justice to our initial plans or to your expectations.

We are proud, though. Proud of the bands we’ve booked and the effort they have put into our festival. Proud of all the people who believed in our cause and shared our dreams. Very proud, indeed, of those who purchased tickets, even when things went pear shaped.
Additionally, we understand that some of you had questions and critique when pivotal acts cancelled. We thank you all, most sincerely.

Is this the end? Will there be a Forces Of Metal 2013?
Really, we don’t know. It’s too early to tell.
The dream hasn’t died, though!

Those of you who have questions are welcome to visit our website www.forcesofmetal.com or contact us directly via
info@forcesofmetal.com.

A battle is lost, the war continues!

Yours sincerely,
Forces Of Metal”
